Writing Assignment #4
A 10-day-old infant was unharmed when an explosion from a neighboring apartment caused the wall to collapse on his crib around 12 a.m. Wednesday in Baltimore, the 36-yr-old female neighbor received burns.

Arnetta Sands was spraying insecticide from an aerosol can when it was ignited by a heated stove and caused the combustion and wall to collapse. Andre Henderson was asleep in the crib; firefighters had to remove the wall to reach him.

Both victims were transported to the hospital. Sands was treated for first-degree burns on her arms and back and Henderson was treated for possible smoke inhalation. Renee Henderson, 23, mother of Andre, was not injured.

Captain Thommen said the incident was accidental. Fire damage to Sands’ kitchen and furnishings was reported.
